to  the  board  of  first  three  editors  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  Quarterly 
by  Grand  Conclave— Caduceus,  XXIII,  261;  Robert  Taylor  Gleaves, 
elected  to  the  board  of  first  three  editors  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  Quar- 
terly by  Grand  Conclave— ^Caduceus,  XXIV,  249;  Richard  Thomas 
Brownrigg,  elected  to  the  board  of  first  three  editors  of  the  Kappa 
Sigma  Quarterly  by  Grand  Conclave — Caduceus,  XXVI,  2. 


During  twenty  years  the  compiler,  Bout  well  Dunlap,  has 
published  in  The  Caduceus  biographies  of  and  biographical 
notes  on,  it  is  estimated,  at  least  4,000  of  the  initiates  of  the 
Fraternity — especially,  those  of  the  first  part  of  its  history. 
Among  the  latter  are  biographies  of  members  not  par- 
ticularly mentioned  in  the  above  syllabus  of  the  period, 
1869-1885,  as  connected  with  its  strictly  "historical"  events, 
as  well  as  those  of  the  same  period  connected  with  such 
events. 

References  in  the  foregoing  citations  to  the  biographies 
of  either  of  these  last  two  classes  would  obscure  the  con- 
tinuity and  confuse  the  reader  of  the  historical  narrative. 
They  are  more  properly  to  be  used  as  material  for  a 
Fraternity  catalogue  or  biographical  collection.  Besides, 
biographies  become  obsolete  with  new  facts  in  careers. 
Therefore,  except  in  the  case  of  the  Founders  at  Virginia, 
or  where  some  biography  contains  a  historical  statement, 
they  have  been  omitted  in  the  references. 

It  is  believed  that  no  other  fraternity  has  in  its  possession 
so  many  photographs  of  its  early  historical  members  as  those 
listed  above.  Some  alumni,  whose  likenesses  are  missing, 
have  pleaded,  through  modesty,  that  their  publication  by 
Kappa  Sigma  be  omitted.  In  addition  to  these,  the  Fra-

ternity  has  printed  photographs  of  a  number  of  its  collegians 
of  this  period  who  became  distinguished,  but  are  not  cited. 
While  interjection  of  biographies  of  these  is  not  pertinent 
to  a  history,  still,  if  a  history  of  the  Fraternity  be  published, 
an  attractive  addition  to  the  volume  would  be  the  inter- 
spersion  through  the  text  for  1869-1885  of  photographs  of 
the  following  initiates  of  those  years.  They — like  a  number 
of  those  with  references  in  the  foregoing — have  become 
distinguished  men  in  either  their  states  or  the  nation :

The  ana  of  the  Fraternity  contains  a  large  number  of 
photographs  of  the  buildings  and  campus  scenes  of  the 
various  colleges  and  universities  where  Kappa  Sigma  Chap- 
ters were  established,  1869-85.  These,  if  it  be  desired,  might 
be  used  to  illustrate  a  historical  narrative  of  these  years.
